IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions

and warnings.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed including:

• Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use

instructions in this manual.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs and hot pads or oven mitts.

• Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool

before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.

• Close supervision is necessary when this appliance is used by or near children.

• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance

malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. For service information see

warranty page.

• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may

cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

• Do not use this appliance outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

• To disconnect, turn control to “OFF,” then remove plug from wall outlet.

• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric

parts in water or other liquids.

• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.

• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming

entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be excersized in their use.

While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one,

ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or

greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the

extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping

or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the

edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or

tripped over.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug

in any way.

• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or

extension cord feels hot.

• For household use only.

Before using your Egg Cooker, clean the entire unit according to the cleaning

instructions. Wash all loose parts in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and

dry. Do not immerse heating base in water.

You can poach up to 4 eggs or hard-cook /soft-cook up to 7 eggs. Cooking times will

vary depending on the size of the egg. To get the best results, use the measuring

cup included with the egg cooker which has water level markings to use as a guide.

These amounts are approximate and can be varied to suit individual preferences.

Use less water for softer cooked eggs and more water for harder cooked eggs.

TO POACH EGGS:

1. Place the egg cooker base on a dry, level surface. Use the soft cooked water

level markings on the measuring cup to determine the amount of water for the

number of eggs being cooked. Example: For 1 poached egg fill water to the 7

mark on the measuring cup; for 4 poached eggs, fill water to the 5 mark. Note:

The more eggs you are poaching the more water you should use.

2. With the switch set to “OFF”, pour the recommended amount of cold water into

the egg cooker base. Place the cooking rack into the base.

3. Lightly butter or oil the poaching cups to be used. Place the poaching pan on

top of the cooking rack in the egg cooker base. ALWAYS PLACE THE

POACHING PAN ON THE COOKING RACK. Be sure to position the poaching

pan onto the cooking rack so that it is level. Break one egg into each cup.

4. Place the cover onto the egg cooker base and plug the appliance into a 120-

volt, AC electrical outlet. Turn the switch to “ON”. The “ON” light will glow

indicating the cooking process has begun. Note: Do NOT remove the cover

from the base while the eggs are cooking. An audible alert will sound when the

eggs are ready, approximately 6 to 8 minutes. Turn the switch to “OFF”.

Unplug cord from electrical outlet. Use hot pads or oven mitts to remove the

cover and poaching pan. Slide the eggs out of the cups with a smooth-edged

utensil. Serve immediately to prevent overcooking.

5. Allow the egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water

from the base and before cleaning.

TO SOFT-COOK EGGS:

1. Place the egg cooker on a dry, level surface. Use the soft cooked water level

markings on the measuring cup to determine the amount of water for the

number of eggs being cooked. Example: If soft cooking 7 eggs, fill the

measuring cup to the 7 mark.

2. With the switch set to “OFF”, pour the recommended amount of cold water into

the egg cooker base. The recommended amount of water will provide eggs with

soft yolks and cooked egg whites.

3. Place the cooking rack onto the base. Pierce the large end of each egg with the

pin that is attached to the bottom of the measuring cup. This will help prevent

the shell from cracking while the eggs are cooking. Place the eggs, pierced-end

up onto the cooking rack.

4. Place the cover onto the egg cooker base and plug appliance into a 120 volt, AC

electrical outlet. Turn the switch to “ON”. The “ON” light will glow indicating the

cooking process has begun. Note: Do NOT remove the cover from the base

while the eggs are cooking. An audible alert will sound when the eggs are

ready, after approximately 11 to 13 minutes. Turn the switch to “OFF”. Unplug

the cord from the electrical outlet. Use hot pads or oven mitts to remove the

cover and cooking rack. Serve immediately to prevent overcooking. Eggs may

be rinsed briefly with cold water while in the cooking rack for easy handling.

5. Allow the egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water

from the base and before cleaning.

TO HARD-COOK EGGS:

1. Place the egg cooker on a dry, level surface. Use the hard cooked water level

markings on the measuring cup to determine the amount of water for the

number of eggs being cooked. Example: If hard cooking 7 eggs, fill the

measuring cup to the 7 mark on the hard cooked-side of the measuring cup.

2. With the switch set to “OFF”, pour the recommended amount of cold water into

the egg cooker base. Note: When cooking more eggs, less water is used.

3. Place the cooking rack onto the base. Pierce the large end of each egg with the

pin that is attached to the bottom of the measuring cup. This will help prevent

the shell from cracking while the eggs are cooking. Place the eggs, pierced-end

up onto the cooking rack.

4. Place the cover onto the egg cooker base. Plug the appliance into a 120 volt,

AC electrical outlet. Turn the switch to “ON”. The “ON” light will glow indicating

the cooking process has begun. Note: Do NOT remove the cover from the base

while the eggs are cooking. An audible alert will sound when the eggs are

ready, after approximately 13 to 17 minutes. Turn the switch to “OFF.” Unplug

the cord from the electrical outlet. Use hot pads or oven mitts to remove the

cover and cooking rack. Eggs may be rinsed briefly with cold water while in the

cooking rack for easy handling. For easy peeling, crack the shell all over by

tapping on a hard surface. Hard-cooked eggs may be refrigerated for up to 4

weeks.

5. Allow the egg cooker to cool completely before discarding any remaining water

from the base and before cleaning.

• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the

release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and

cooling – this is normal.

To ensure optimal performance clean your Egg Cooker after each use. Wash the cover,

poaching pan, cooking rack, and measuring cup in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.

The cover, poaching pan and cooking rack may be cleaned in an automatic dishwasher,

top rack only, however the underside of the poaching pan will discolor which is normal

and does not affect its use in cooking eggs. DO NOT CLEAN THE MEASURING CUP IN

AN AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER, AS DAMAGE WILL OCCUR. Use caution around the

piercing pin in the bottom of the measuring cup when cleaning.

Wipe the egg cooker base with a damp cloth and dry.

Place the cooking rack, poaching pan, measuring cup, and cord inside the egg cooker for

compact storage.

This appliance has no user serviceable parts.
